Picking up your rental car at Corfu Airport
About Corfu Airport (CFU)
Corfu International Airport Ioannis Kapodistrias (IATA: CFU) is one of the busiest airports in Greece during summer and the main gateway to the island. The airport handles a high volume of charter flights from across Europe, particularly from the UK, Germany and Scandinavia. It operates from a single terminal, and car rental desks are located in the arrivals hall. Vehicle collection takes place in the rental car area directly outside the terminal. The airport runway extends over the sea on both sides, which makes for a memorable approach. During peak summer, the arrivals hall can be very busy, so completing your paperwork online before arrival is strongly recommended.
Getting on the road from Corfu Airport
Corfu Airport is situated approximately 2 km south of Corfu Town, making it one of the most conveniently located airports in Greece relative to the main city. From the rental car exit, the main road north leads directly into the town centre in under 10 minutes. For the west coast beaches such as Glyfada and Paleokastritsa, follow the road through the town and take the route westbound toward Pelekas. For the north of the island, including Kassiopi and Sidari, follow the coastal road northward from the town. The island is compact enough that most destinations are reachable within 45 minutes from the airport.
Why pick up at the airport rather than in the city
Given the airport’s proximity to Corfu Town, pickup at the airport is almost always the most practical choice. You can collect your car immediately after landing and reach any part of the island within an hour. Corfu Town itself has limited parking and busy summer traffic, so having the car from the start of your trip avoids the need to arrange transport twice.
